The lord besieging the west city of Qinglong City will be Li Yuntian's old acquaintance, Taiping, the leader of the Northern Yuan Waratul Special Department, that is, the former virtuous king of the Ming Dynasty.

In the seventh year of Yongle, Taiping was named the King of Xianyi by Emperor Yongle, but with the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty a few years ago, the title of King of Taiping Xianyi has been deprived by Emperor Xuande.

Taiping, like Tuhuan, is the leader of the three major tribes of the Northern Yuan Warat tribe, but in recent years, Tuhuan's power has become stronger and stronger, and his power has gradually weakened.

Now, although Taiping is the main general of the army besieging the west gate of Qinglong City, commanding 60,000 Northern Yuan soldiers, the power of the army falls into the hands of the deputy general Duo Sang.

Duo Sang is Tuohuan's henchman, relying on Tuohuan's support to overwhelm Taiping in the military camp outside Xicheng, which makes Taiping feel quite embarrassed but helpless, after all, now Tuohuan's power is too great, and he is powerless to resist.

"Your Excellency, there is a sound of fighting in the direction of the west city of Qinglong City, as if there has been a fierce battle." Since it was already early morning, the tent of the Taiping camp was sleeping soundly, and an urgent voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

"Fierce battles?" Taiping, who was woken up, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, how could Qinglong City be the territory of the Ming army now?

Subsequently, Taiping suddenly remembered something, hurriedly put on his clothes and went out of the camp tent, boarded the lookout platform in the barracks and looked in the direction of Qinglong City, only to see a lot of fires lit up in the west city of Qinglong City, as if the house was on fire.

"Could it be that the spy sent by Wind and Thunder has successfully plotted against the Kansai Army?" Looking at the fires in those Qinglong City, Taiping's face showed a look of surprise, the reason why Beiyuan sent 60,000 troops to besiege the west gate of Qinglong City was to meet the rebellious Guanxi army in the city.

"Your Excellency, it seems that General Fenglei's people have succeeded." Just when Taiping was secretly guessing, a stout general in his thirties walked over, glanced at the direction of the west gate of Qinglong City, and said to Taiping with a smile, "We should gather troops to meet the Guanxi Army in the city." ”

"That's exactly what I wanted." Hearing this, Taiping smiled at the stout general, and then gave an order to the general on the side with an expressionless face, "Beat the drum and assemble the team!" ”

This stout general is Tosang, although Taiping has no good impression of Dosang, who is a little arrogant, and it can be said that he still has some hatred, but on the surface, he still has to do the work of vain and wrongdoing, after all, they are now on the same side, and if the commander of the army openly disagrees, it will have a major impact on the morale of the army.

Therefore, whether it is Taiping or Duosang, although there are many contradictions between the two, no one dares to be sloppy in the face of the battle of Qinglong City, and no matter how arrogant Duosang is, he is also very jealous of Li Yuntian in the city, so the two know that only by working together to win Qinglong City can they obtain greater benefits.

The Northern Yuan soldiers in the camp were in their dreams, and the comfortable and boring life since the siege had already made them relax their vigilance, so after the drums of the assembly sounded, there was chaos in the camp tent, and the soldiers hurriedly put on their clothes, and then they picked up their weapons and rushed out in a panic, shouting and scolding and looking for clothes.

Taiping condescended, looking at the chaotic situation in the barracks, he couldn't help frowning, now in the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army, both the generals and the soldiers thought that it would be a matter of time before they won the Battle of Kansai.

Therefore, there was an atmosphere of arrogance in the army, and the minds of the generals and soldiers were no longer in Kansai, but about how to plunder the Ming Dynasty in the future.

In order to encourage the fighting spirit of the soldiers, the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty had already publicized the Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty as a place full of gold and rich oil, which made the soldiers eager to put on their wings and fly into the Jiangnan to grab loot.

After a panicked situation, the Beiyuan soldiers in the camp finally assembled, and many of them yawned and were sleepy-eyed, after all, Linchen was the easiest time to get sleepy.

"Your Excellency, the general will take the first step and enter the city to receive the Kansai army that has surrendered." Duo Sang glanced at the brighter and brighter firelight in the west gate of Qinglong City, and said after bowing his hand to Taiping.

Obviously, the first person to enter the Blue Dragon City will make the first contribution to the battle of the Green Dragon City, and Duo Sang doesn't want to give this credit to the people of Taiping, so whoever asks for the battle first.

"General Tosang, according to the agreement, the Kansai army in the city will light three fires on the city gate tower after opening the west gate as a signal, but now there is no fire on the city gate tower, and the city gate is still in the hands of the Ming army."

Taiping frowned slightly when he heard this, although Duo Sang was "asking for battle", but Taiping knew very well that this was just a greeting to himself, but he did not mean to fight for merit, but reminded quietly.

Unlike Duo Sang, Taiping had fought directly with Li Yuntian in Beizhili, so he knew that Li Yuntian was terrible, and he didn't think it would be a wise move to enter the city at this time, although this would be the first merit to break through Qinglong City, but it also meant that he would be fiercely attacked by the Ming army in the city.

For Taiping, preserving strength is more important than fighting for the first merit, so he has no intention of competing with Duosang at all, but wishes that Duosang would go to his death and make a bloody way for the follow-up troops.

"The privy counsellor is reassured that Ben will be careful." Seeing that Taiping was so cautious, Duosang couldn't help but ridicule Taiping for being cowardly, and bowed to Taiping and led his generals to leave with high spirits.

If you wait until the city gate tower lights up three fires before going forward, maybe the city gate will be taken by the Ming army again, after all, the Ming army in the city is powerful, God knows how long those Kansai troops can hold in front of the city gate, so he has to rush to the city gate as soon as possible to wait, as long as the city gate opens, he will lead the army to reinforce the Kansai army.

"My lord, what shall we do?" After Dosang left, a general standing behind Tianping couldn't help but ask for instructions, if Taiping did not send troops, he would definitely be punished afterwards.

"Order down, the whole army is on alert, and wait for the fire on the city gate tower to go to support." Taiping's brows furrowed, and then he said to the general in a deep voice, in order not to make trouble for Tuhuan, he was ready to act according to the original plan.

The reason why the Northern Yuan army outside the city began to march towards Qinglong City after three fires were ignited on the tower of the city gate was to prevent falling into Li Yuntian's trap, in Gu Chen's opinion, there was a risk of exposing the Northern Yuan spies in the city if Li Yuntian was there, and then used the matter of the Northern Yuan to appease the Guanxi Army to give the Northern Yuan soldiers outside the city a fist.

Knowing that there was only one person who lit a fire on the city gate tower, Gu Chen believed that Chaman would never reveal this secret to the outside world, so only three piles of fire were lit on the city gate tower of the West Gate, which showed that the Kwantai Army had really broken with the Ming Army, and it also meant that the Kwantan Army had taken control of the city gate.

I have to say that Gu Chen was thoughtful and thoughtful, and he had to deal with it with a twelve-point spirit in front of Li Yuntian.

It's a pity that Li Yuntian is a step ahead of Gu Chen, and he successfully used Yun Na's assassination to wipe out the Northern Yuan spies such as Chaman and Yang Xingzhi in Qinglong City, and also learned the contact information with the enemy forces outside the city.

At the same time, outside the southern city of Qinglong City, the army of the Timurid Empire was in a large camp.

"General Yu, the Taiping Commander sent someone to report that there was a fierce battle at the gate of the west city of Qinglong City, and it seems that the Guanxi army in the city and the Ming army were fighting." In his sleep, the commander of the Timurid imperial army, Wendu, was awakened from his sleep by the guards who came to report it.

"Quick, gather the generals in the battalion and gather the troops." Wen Du, who was sleeping in a daze, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then jumped out of bed and gave an order in a deep voice while getting dressed.

Wen Du naturally knew Gu Chen's plan, but after such a long time, there was no movement in Qinglong City, which made him gradually lose confidence in the spies that Gu Chen planted in Qinglong City.

However, now that there is an inexplicable conflict at the west gate of Qinglong City, there seems to be no other explanation except that the Kansai Army was rebelled by Gu Chen's secret agents and wanted to cooperate with the army outside the city to capture Qinglong City.

As for whether this is a trap set by Li Yuntian in the city, Wen Du did not doubt it, in his opinion, whether it is a trap or not, as long as the gate of Xicheng is opened, then he will command his soldiers and horses to kill it, because this is a golden opportunity, rather than forcibly attacking the city, it is better to be ambushed by the Ming army in the city.

Wen Du was not afraid that Li Yuntian would set up an ambush in the city, the troops of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty besieging the city were higher than the Ming army in the city, as long as they could avoid the walls of Qinglong City, then fighting a war of attrition was exactly what he wanted, swallowing the Ming army in the city bit by bit.

Under the order of Wendu, the generals in the Timurid Empire's military camp outside the southern city rushed to Wendu's tent one after another, stretching their waists, yawning and yawning, all of them looked lazy, and there was a strong smell of alcohol on people's bodies.

Looking at those lazy generals, Wen Du's brows furrowed slightly, the siege of the city is a boring thing, so the generals will inevitably have to relax, this kind of thing he can only turn a blind eye, if it is investigated, there is no point, but it will hit the morale of the generals.

"Ben General got the latest news, the Kansai Army of Qinglong City is seizing the West Gate under the instigation of Da Yuan's secret agents, and now Ben General has ordered to divide half of his troops to support General Taiping outside Xicheng, and the rest of the people will stay in the barracks and be on full alert to prevent the Ming army in the city from sneaking attack."

After the generals arrived, Wen Du glanced around at everyone with a serious expression, and gave an order with an expressionless face, because it was Li Yuntian who was in charge of Qinglong City, so he had to be cautious to prevent Li Yuntian from taking the opportunity to sneak out of the city to attack, he believed that Li Yuntian would definitely do this seemingly crazy thing.

"Yes!" The generals of the Timurid Empire at the scene didn't know what was going on, and suddenly learned that there was a rebellion in Qinglong City, and they immediately came to their senses one by one, and said in a deep voice to Wendu.

As long as Qinglong City is taken, then the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan will win the Battle of Guanxi, and the next step is to move eastward and enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty to burn and loot.
